Mouse Plugin

[Sem;colon]

Hello,

this post is just to let you know that I did a little modification to the Mouse plugin by Bitmonster that could be interesting for some of you.
I added the possibility to set "left mouse button to UP" and "left mouse button to DOWN" in the toggle event.
For me that was a missing feature I needed, would be cool if this modification would find it's way into the standard.

Hello, It's me again.

I made some more improvements to this plugin:
-The action that starts a mouse movement into one direction has now 3 additional paramenters: Initial mouse speed, Maximum mouse speed and Accceleration factor.
-All mouse move/set pointer actions have now a checkbox to use an alternate method, this method creates mouse events instead of just setting the pointer. What is that good for? Well, I have Windows 8.1 on my HTPC and I don't have a mouse attached to it. Windows 8 has a "feature" to hide the mouse pointer until the mouse was moved for the first time, the old method doesn't count as mouse movement to Windows in this case, the new one does - So I can now see my mouse again . also it should work better in 3D applications.

Hello Sem;colon,

Nice name by the way .

I am using EG 0.4.1.r1700 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am having trouble getting mouse "move relative" to work under the 64 bit Windows 8.1 and when I installed the same EG version on Windows 7 32 bit, it worked flawlessly but on 64 bit, it does not work at all.

I run EG as administrator and when I experimented with "Start mouse movement" it worked well on Windows 8.1 64 bit. The only problem I faced is that when used with a remote through Lirc client it is sluggish and is really slow even when max the "initial mouse speed" to "2000" and "Max mouse speed" to "30000" and also "Acceleration Factor" to "200" , This is why I was hoping to get "move relative" to work.

It does on my PC with Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit (even on my Windows 10 Home 64 bit)

That sounds like your remote doesn't trigger one enduring event but lots of events if you keep the button pressed, right? I'm not sure if you can do anything about that...

But Move relative should work for you, are you maybe using any other software that captures your mouse movements or generates mouse movements? Sometimes this causes issues with the EG plugin.

Hi Sem;colon,

any chance you could add the possibility to hide the mouse pointer?
I know about moving outside of the screen and alike but it doesn't work for me reliably...

Hi Luca Brasi,

sorry for my late reply, I don't know any API function that can do this...
Also moving the pointer in the right bottom corner of the screen works fine for me.
